World of Warcraft - Out of the Box

Despite my high-minded intentions of "viewing the game as a whole", I decided to once again get down in the mud and take up the banner of the Horde in order to push those damn, dirty, Humans off our rung of the evolutionary ladder. In the first day since launch I've managed to push my primary character, an Orc hunter up to level 7 while getting my other Horde character up to level 5 and breaking them all out of the newbie areas.
What jumps out at me having played through all of those newbie areas is that it looks like Blizzard has done it again. One of the secrets of that company's success is that it lets other companies experiment in new genres and then comes in last with a supremely polished product that, while not innovative, provides a gameplay experience so tight it's tough to poke holes in it. World of Warcraft is absolutely no exception.
